I'm trying to use TSO in a batch job to control a RECEIVE of a file that is
created by an XMIT command.
The RECEIVE works ok, except that the restored output file is always being
created in my SMS 'temporary files' storage class.
I've tried everything I can think of to work around this, but the only
method that works is to pre-allocate the file with a DD statement in the
supporting JCL - which is something I don 't want to do if it can be
avoided.
I tried a bare 'ALLOC' command on its own but even this results in the
specified file being created in the 'temporary' class, whether a STORCLAS
clause is provided or not.
Example input:
//(step) EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
//SYSTSIN DD *
ALLOC DATASET('<permanent file name>') NEW SPACE(1,1) DIR(1) TRACKS CATALOG
STORCLAS(<permanent files class>)
Extracted from the resulting JESYSMSG output section:
IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (SYS00002)
DSN (<permanent file name> )
STORCLAS (<temporary files class>) MGMTCLAS ( ) DATACLAS
(<normal files class>)
VOL SER NOS= volser
Am I right in thinking that a new file such a this is dynalloc'd with a
temporary style name ('SYSyyddd.Thhmmss....') and then renamed when the
dynalloc is seen to be successful? If so, is there any way to change this
behaviour?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
John
